University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center Sets a New Standard for Cancer Care

We all know someone affected by cancer, whether it is a friend, relative, coworker or neighbor. And when cancer strikes, everyone involved seeks comfort and support to get through treatment of the disease. University Hospitals responded to the challenges of our growing cancer population by building the only freestanding cancer hospital in the region, UH Seidman Cancer Center.

Located on the main campus of University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, UH Seidman Cancer Center opened in spring 2011. The 375,000-square-foot hospital houses all of our cancer services under one roof to optimize patient- and family-centered care, provide the latest therapies, enhance collaboration and promote clinical research and education.

UH Seidman Cancer Center is part of the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and one of an elite group of 12 freestanding cancer center designated by the National Cancer Institute as a Comprehensive Cancer Centers nationwide.
